Episode 20. The Krenov-inspired cabinet: Doors and back

Posted in Blog, Krenov by Al (Sandal Woods)




In this episode I show how I made the cabinet doors, with emphasis on the simple design elements that enhance their looks; but the focus is on the nice (resawn) spalted maple panels.

    Al,

    I enjoyed the video. I like that you took time to plan for the grain matching. I was thinking it could be taken even further by ripping the center styles from the same board :). I might do that on my next set of doors.

    Thanks, Mike.

    Good catch :-( . I *did* rip the center stiles from the same board; but only after viewing the video, following publication, did I notice I screwed up the assembly! It mattered not that I marked all boards, that I marked them a second time to make sure I was still able to track them,etc., I managed to screw up during the glue-up.

    I might redo the doors, depending on how bad they look after I rabbet the stiles, where they meet in the middle.

    Hi Al……excellent man, it’s not easy building a cabinet and shooting video yourself. Different set-ups, close-ups, you end up in 2 places at once… I like that shot under the FMT.

    Bravo………Neil

    PS….regarding above post….COOL taking the kids on a build.

    Hi, Neil! Thanks for stopping by.
    .
    You know better than anyone else about splitting yourself and *actually* being in more than one place at once! I am enjoying being back in the shop, and trying to get things done. :-)

    Our granddaughters will take *any* opportunity to use hand tools. We love them to pieces!

About Me

My name is Al Navas, and I live in NW Missouri with my bride of many years. We are both woodworkers who love to be in the shop together, sharing wonderful times. She is a woodturner, and also carves and does pyrography. I do what many call flat work, which includes jewelry boxes to blanket chests; armoires to entertainment centers; church altars to prayer kneelers; custom cabinets to rustic furniture. In our “spare” time in the shop we make toys, bird houses, etc., for our granddaughters. In late 2007 we finished serving as officers for the St Joseph Woodworkers Guild.
